Album Review: Love Kills by Safia Mafia (8/10)

"She sounds reminiscent of a cross between Jhene Aiko and Tessa Thompson, sprinkled with urban ‘90s Cali swag."


Safia Mafia is an up-and-coming singer songwriter from Oakland, Calif. On her debut Love Kills she sounds reminiscent of a cross between Jhene Aiko and Tessa Thompson, sprinkled with urban ‘90s Cali swag. Jazzy, sensual and soulful, Love Kills is an album that finds a way to hit with not only its title track, but with standout songs like “All Ways,” “Drive,” “Weed & Wine” and title cut “Love Kills.” Safia is likeable, colorful and is a performer who has the po- tential to be a solidified R&B celebrity; only time will tell.
